Workshop Game Changer On A Budget! - Streamline The Way You Work

[@packetlevel]

Very nice, thank you. I'd offer a tip - this is so often /not/ done, unfortunarely, but it makes a build video much better: Follow the same tip as when you're presenting: "Tell them what you're going to say, say it, then tell them what you said." For a build video - especially if you're not showing plans, then; 1 show the finished item and it's operation at the start. 2 build it 3 show the finished item and operation. The steps of the build make /much/ more sense, much more easily when we already have a picture of the item in our mind and how the parts will relate.

[@briancarroll.]

So many videos would get more views/subscribers and referrals from following this. In my line of work, I’m always saying “let’s take it to the white board” so whoever is trying to get us to follow some vision they have in their mind can be visualized before hand and we understand the “end goal” before we start. Don’t know if or how that relates, but in my mind it does…. Let’s take it to the white board and I’ll draw it out! Lol

[@Chsbobcat1]

My favorite thing about your work is: “Woah! That’s a great idea.” “I need this”.” “Oh cool. That’s an amazing addition.” “Yup. I definitely see the utility.” “I never thought of [insert extra part]!!” “Yeah. This man is impressive and innovative” Every video. Every time. Love your work!

[@aaronalquiza9680]

OMG this is what i need, just when i need it! i'm thinking of doing something similar with dust collector hose as well.

[@dqauto500]

Me too!!

[@AusWorkshop]

Me 3

[@khayroolrosly8492]

me 4

[@Bedstaa]

This guy is the Einstein of practical and useful innovation. A true working man's savant

[@kevinthomson6324]

Just finish building my boom arm for dust collection and extension cord that reaches my entire work area. Total game changer to my work flow. No more tripping on power cords or vacuum hose. Plus I actually hook the hose up now so the shop stays so much cleaner as I work.

[@F.Harlock]

This is an amazingly simple yet very useful idea. it works great for both Power cords, and also for Air compressor hoses as well. Thank for such a great idea to make the workshop cleaner (less obstacles on the floor.)

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, Jean! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@xylonguitars]

simple but also inspired!!! thank you very much for sharing!

[@dqauto500]

What a snazzy idea!!! Love it!!!! My shop has 14’ ceilings so it won’t work for me there but I think it’ll be great over my work bench and in my chicken run!! ❤❤❤❤❤ great job! I love your ideas.

[@lowelllogerwell5146]

Well, you know us woodworkers! convenient, cheap, and out of the way when not in use! 9 out of 10!!!I KUDOS!

[@jasondoust4935]

Haha! This is super old school, I love it - thank you! I remember a cabinet shop my dad used to moonlight in having a similar setup almost 50 years ago. I don't need this now, but have no doubt that I will one day, so thanks for the reminder! For now, I've gone far more agricultural in my carport with plastic clamps holding my extension cord onto the C-purlins. : )

[@shawnr771]

Great idea. I use those rare earth magnets alot. Be advised if you let them slap the roof too hard while attaching they can shatter. The stronger the magnets the more brittle they become.

[@kb28563]

I love this idea and wish I had seen it before I had the electrician put in lots of PowerPoints 🤪 but I think it could also work for shop vac hoses that drive me crazy! Just a couple of modifications and Bob’s your uncle 😁🤩

[@barbarianatgate2000]

As always, brilliant shopmade solutions!

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

Your brain is something on a whole different level !!! I was just complaining about the extension chords all over my shop because everything is on wheels so I can move them around, but they don't roll so well over chords... this, this is off the chain and I think I'm going to go buy me a new extension chord and get this setup on a bigger scale because my shop is quite a bit larger than yours. The struggle is real so keep on thinking of stuff like this, thank you so much for sharing !!!

[@1978lburick]

On mine, I let the cord end hang down just above head height. No need for complications, as my chopsaw, drill press etc. are plugged into their own sockets, and I just use it for portable tools at the bench. Been singing the praises of this idea for 30 years (I got the idea from an over-head crane at work).

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Great idea for the workshop, no more trailing cables on the floor, problem solved. Great video take care, all the best from Wrexham WALES

[@mikeconnel777]

I hate steel roofs…..now I wish I had one lol. Nice work!

[@MrPatdeeee]

As always, this Genius man, has shown us another great thing that we can use too. Thank you, and we❤You!!!

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Nice work. I like that you used the shrink tube. You know, it's the little touches that make the difference! I think I'll use your wire method to hang pvc curtains for when I do my worst dust spewing operations.

[@chairlord]

You are the most pragmatic man on KZbin and every one of your videos just fills me with ideas.

[@user-Sleepy]

Your extremely clever. Thanks for the video. Hope you are well and the family is doing great.

[@GratefulThird]

Now I wish I had a steel ceiling in my garage! Awesome.

[@kelvingstrachan]

I was thinking the same thing. Then I thought about my garage workshop roof, and realised, a simple hook that I can move from beam to beam would also work, instead of the magnet.

[@elpresidente8730]

Overhead power and extraction routing is definitely the way to go, I use it in my small shop and it's great. Keeps the cords out of the way and takes a lot of the hassle away. Looking forward to the new multifunction work bench build.

[@maheshsukhram4982]

My favorite project so far, "so simple" but I could never of thought about it.

[@cheryldawkins7486]

I love your inspired, cost-effective solutions for a small shop. Thank you for sharing with us.😂

[@kelvingstrachan]

Excellent. I was cursing my router last night while I was flattening a slab of laminated pallet wood. I'm going to do this before I cut the slab into a circle with the same router

[@amprocha1]

Brillianrt! So simple but effective. You are just an inspiration. Thank you for sharing all your ideas with us.

[@rickyseddon4786]

I have multiple hanging power points I diy’d in my shop but this is so cool! Awesome work

[@someguynj]

Your videos have become some of the content I'm most pleasantly surprised to see arrive in my notifications. I love the constant rethinking of improving space management and workflow. My "shop" doubles as an active garage, sharing space with bikes, snow removal equipment, and portable generator (plus my wife parking in there). It's great to see you back.

[@kevinronald4137]

Clever idea at a reasonable price. One idea for improvement to fit a double plug to the end of your extension so you can run two corded devices.

[@miki09876]

I'm blown away by how simple and effective your solution is

[@garethtopliss350]

Another Great, Functional and cost effective upgrade H. Love the idea and getting the cables off the floor is always a win! Only issue i foresee is that Bungee elastic giving out. Still loving the content man and great to see u back in full form man!

[@chickenfist1554]

You can get retracting 'pulleys' for flower hanging baskets that allow you to pull the basket down to water the flowers, then get it to pull the basket back up. Very cheap and strong enough for something like this :)

[@pap314]

Do you have a link? Is it sold on Amazon?

[@jaybee1570]

Can’t wait for the updated version of the all in one bench. I think yours was the best one on you tube!

[@lesd40]

You have so many fantastic and wonderful ideas. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@josephheins325]

The steel rope also holds walls together so roof will not sag.

[@monteglover4133]

👍👍 Small suggestion, I’d use pulleys on the cable. I’ll might use the system in my shop but here in the US it’s 220/110 the cord would be 12 awg 4 wire with a box for the receptacles (220 & 110)

[@robertkerby2581]

I love your exceptionally brilliant design and build project! I find your videos to be very inspirational, which help me in my journey to become a better woodworker! Well-done!

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

This was very clever! I can use this for power and a second run for compressed air.

[@mak4374]

Good idea! I think I am going to use it on an outside metal covered shed I have. I think I might even incorporate it with a small air hose. If I may, I am not sure if you used that one, but I have had a very bad "luck" with plastic-covered stainless wired. They rate them as high strength as the bare stainless wires, but I have had them fail MUCH more often. Actually, I have never had a non-plastic covered wire fail, and I have completely switched to bare wire. FYI...

[@paulvanhouts3365]

I am not a fan of retractable extension reels as people tend not to roll them out fully creating a fire risk. I have seen ideas like yours and they are a great solution. I used curtain rails as my extension lead runners, much as you have done with the steel cable and works a treat. I only have to replace broken runners as they are plastic. That cable solution is a good idea and no plastic except cable ties. Hanks for sharing these ideas.

[@zeeebrenn]

oh, i so need this.... thanks a lot! Your channel is great for my garage :)

[@simonwalker8394]

Great idea, cheap, strong, and works a treat! Genius..

[@berniesr]

That's is a nifty , simple and clever idea

[@blazegbs]

Great job! Bravo! I love short, sweat, and unique solutions to issues. Keep it up.

[@ChrisMurley]

Great idea Jon. Looking forward to the rebrand.

[@TBGRocks]

Really good idea. Thanks for posting. Great editing too. Shows just enough of what you're doing. Nice job.

[@tumbleweed1976]

Great idea. Nice work.

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT project Jon. Simple effective AND affordable! !! !!!

[@gary2632]

Nicely done 👍

[@MrUltimate49er]

I love your inventions! It's been great watching your videos over the years and your shop is so cool!

[@martingroeslon]

Simple but effective as always.

[@williammoore4101]

You could also dumb-weight the carabiner nearest the magnetic stand to make it want to pull back to collapsed? Cool build.

[@yunggolem4687]

Practical idea. I'd upgrade the size of your extension cord though. That's a lot of amperage to run through that small cable & with it up at the top of your shop next to the metal roof it's going to be preheated already.

[@Lutzboater]

Brilliant !! Great and unique idea that you made work. I'm impressed. as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@tighecrovetti2844]

Bungee as a spring....absolutely elegant!

[@lotus65]

Awesome, but my pole barn has a 15 ft ceiling, so I'll have to figure out some drastic mods. Thanks for the video!

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Very nice - I've been thinking of something similar. Thankfully I have a 4-way outlet in the ceiling of my garage, so I could set up a cable system like yours for moving a cord around, which would be nice to have.

[@catsruiz3043]

Bonsoir de Normandie,c'est exactement ce dont j'ai besoin,alors merci beaucoup

[@DJULTRA7]

Doing an "over-under cable wrap" for the cord coil will mitigate the twist much more too

[@heihe26]

Nice work !!!

[@nickgenericusername]

A cheap 'wire rope door closer' attached the forwardmost carabiner might even help retract the whole length of cable automatically maybe

[@RecklessRick]

Thank you this will be useful in my work shop many thanks

[@ratherbemtb]

that was genius 👏

[@TheCarpenterGirl1984]

Congratulations to you 🎉🎉

[@stuartkorte1642]

Another great idea and is easily put together. Thanks.

[@MegaMr200]

You have really good ideas!

[@AmplifyDIY]

Great upgrade! I paid quite a bit of $$$ for a retractable power reel... and it's not quite as useful as your solution, as it stays mounted at a fixed point on the ceiling. I like how yours can move around without stretching a cable across the ground. Great job!

[@patrickguillot3894]

As usual, this is very cleaver !

[@kentneil7100]

Makes perfect sense 👌

[@MrKuben1966]

Brilliant simple and functional. Thank you

[@daviddegraff5137]

Nice!

[@conrat2000]

But I love the original logo. Anyway, sure whatever you end up with will be awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@stevephillips2997]

Absolutely brilliant

[@OZheathen]

Absolutely fantastic idea

[@mrupholsteryman]

I heard the sound of Darth Vader in his space craft when you slid the hose across the tight wire on the carabiners! 😅🤣😂

[@dougptankerengr759]

simple is good!

[@gardenrailroading]

Great design!

[@dooshakhaboosha2573]

[@MuzzaNZ]

Love your work, thanks for sharing mate!

[@jjr8996]

Awesome

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great idea

[@RocketdadsDog]

Smart, good job !!

[@Djkudos14]

@woodshopjunkies I only wanted to mentioned some information about extension cords. These often come in multiple types of current rating and its important to double check the overall wattage of the cabling. this may cause an increase in price as length goes up. Also this would change the overall AWG rating of the wire in the extension cord. This was something I learned due to my EV in trying to trouble shoot some charging issues back in the day. Fire safety and electrical safety are important after all in a wood shop.

[@rajookalyan3329]

Brilliant idea.... genius

[@fritzprints7182]

Genius!!

[@marcbarash6045]

Good Job!

[@ChrisCloete]

Goed gedoen Dankie !

[@alancollett5566]

AWESOME IDEA!

[@מעייןהמלבלבתחייםםםם]

Great idea!

[@mikegleaden5096]

Clever, verging on genius. Effective, simple, cheap. Not pretty, perhaps, but nevertheless elegant. I'm just trying to fathom how to adapt this idea for my non-steel ceiling...

[@jaywimer4415]

Run 2 cables down to the end wall offset from the center of the usable space, use 2 pulleys with a block mounted between, then use a swinging arm to both sides of the work space

[@shturmovik3033]

Great idea…I have the same issue.

[@AndrewFroude]

Great job. Thank you!

[@cyberlizardcouk]
